If you love somebody Better tell them while they're here 'cause They just may run away from you You'll never know quite when well Then again it just depends on How long of time is left for you I've had the highest mountains I've had the deepest river You can have it all but life keeps movin' Now take it in but don't look down! I'm on top of the world ay! I'm on top of the world ay! Waitin' on this for a while now Payin' my dues to the dirt I've been waitin' to smile ay! Been holdin' it in for a while ay! Take you with me if I can Been dreaming of this since a child I'm on top of the world! I've tried to cut these corners Tried to take the easy way out I kept on fallin' short of somethin' I could have gave up then but Then again I couldn't have 'cause I've traveled all this way for somethin' I take it in but don't look down! I'm on top of the world ay! I'm on top of the world ay! Waitin' on this for a while now Payin' my dues to the dirt I've been waitin' to smile ay! Been holdin' it in for a while ay! Take you with me if I can Been dreaming of this since a child I'm on top of the world! Oh woah oh oh, oh (I'm on top of the world) Oh woah oh oh I'm on top of the world ay! I'm on top of the world ay! Waitin' on this for a while now Payin' my dues to the dirt I've been waitin to smile ay! Been holdin' it in for a while ay! Take you with me if I can I'm on top of the world! And I know it's hard when you're falling down And it's a long way up when you hit the ground Get up now, get up, get up now (I'm on top of the world) And I know it's hard when you're falling down And it's a long way up when you hit the ground Get up now, get up, get up now I'm on top of the world ay! I'm on top of the world ay! Waitin' on this for a while now Payin' my dues to the dirt I've been waitin' to smile ay! Been holdin' it in for a while ay! Take you with me if I can Been dreamin' of this since a child I'm on top of the world!
